## Summary

This is an inscription of Āditya I. It is damaged in places and the
portion at the end is peeled off. It records a gift of 20 kaḻañju of
gold for a perpetual lamp in the temple at Tiruppaḻaṉam in Viṟai-kūṟṟam,
by Kāḍupaṭṭigaḷ Tamarmēttiyār the mother of Vayiri-Ak[kaṉ] alias
Tribhuvanamādēviyār the queen of Śōḻaperumāṉaḍigaḷ (Chōḷa king). The
name of the donatrix indicates that she was of the Pallava family with
whom the king should have contracted marriage relationship.
